As a result, this study was done to determine the efficacy and the efficiency of LeGrand correlation chart in the evaluation of the potential of groundwater of an area to pollution. Ebohkhuala and Agbede were used as a case study. Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and hydrogeochemical analysis of groundwater in the two areas were used to validate the result of the correlation chart. The LeGrand correlation chart for Ebohkhuala and Agbede total point value for pollution evaluation were 32.5 and 7, respectively. These values showed that Ebohkhuala’s groundwater cannot be contaminated by nearby dump site owing to the result of the correlation which fell within the limits of impossibility, while that of Agbede fell in high possibility. The result of Ebohkhuala’s ERT resistivity signature depicts plume, ranged from 35 to 89 Ωm. The low values indicated migration of pollution without infiltrating the groundwater. However, that of Agbede ranged from 1.8 to 56 Ωm, which suggested high plume saturation. Similarly, the result of hydrogeochemical test of the ground water showed that Ebohkhuala did not have bacteria while Agbede has high concentration. The study has shown that LeGrand correlation is very efficient and efficacious in pollution prediction.","PeriodicalId":430415,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geology and Mining Research","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132776290","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Benin City and its environs have witnessed a high proliferation of open pit sand and/ laterite mining activities popularly called borrow pits in recent times, with its associated environmental risk. This research is carried on five selected sand mines in Benin City to estimate the cumulative land area degraded as a result of sand mining operations, thus it determines the level of environmental damage done and quantity of material required for refilling and reclamation. The method involves the use of a GPS based geomatics technique to acquire GIS data of five selected open pit sand mines, as well as computer softwares for the analysis, and area and/volume studies. The result showed that sites A, B, C, D, and E deforested a land area of 17,923.125, 33,991.803, 36,038.761, 13,212.545, and 2,882.046 m2 respectively; while the volume of excavation created by the five sites are respectively 1,792,154.644, 4,992,730.898, 2,701,846.644, 9,878,111.857, and 134,258.932 m3. Thus, a cumulative area of 104,048 m² of land was deforested in the five sites while 19,499,102.98 m³ of excavation was cumulatively created which requires refilling and total reclamation.","PeriodicalId":430415,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geology and Mining Research","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126272242","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The termite mounds and their adjoining surface soils were analyzed for Pb, Zn, Ti, Cu, Sb, As, U, Cr, Zr and Li in an attempt to test their effectiveness in defining favorable areas for lead-Zinc mineralization in the Upper Benue Trough. The result shows a general trend of higher elemental concentration in termite mounds relative to their adjoining surface soils. The ore elements Pb, Zn together with Ti have the highest average concentrations of 503, 2136.5, and 6285 ppb in termite mounds compared to 356, 1662 and 2250 ppb respectively in adjoining surface soils. Biological Absorption Coefficient, calculated to evaluate their degree of concentration, shows 141 values of Biological Absorption Coefficient within enrichment category with only 59 values in the depletion category. The relatively high concentration of the ore elements Pb, Zn and the associated trace elements in termite mounds and the elevated contents of BAC values in the enrichment category together suggest that Pb, Zn and Ti in termite mounds can be effectively used for lead-zinc exploration in the Upper Benue Trough. \u0000 \u0000 Key words: Lead-Zinc, termite mound, Gongola Sub-basin, Upper Benue Trough.","PeriodicalId":430415,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geology and Mining Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130991413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Theoretically, data obtained from the same pyrite grains, using two different techniques must represent, to some extent, the same chemical composition, but not exclusively the same values. This comes because they applied to the same spots, and within the same pyrite grains. Yet, the results obtained in this study of the two techniques are not directly comparable. Graphical and statistical techniques were also applied to depict any existing relationships. However, all do not indicate any kind of similarity in the distribution of major or trace-elements in the pyrite of both datasets. The results of this study imply that the obvious correlations between data of the two techniques for matching spots are failed by several factors (spot size, zoning, heterogeneity, etc.), which are negatively influencing any direct standardization procedure of LA-ICP-MS data based on EMP results. \u0000 \u0000 Key words: Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS), electron microprobe, Barberton greenstone belt, pyrite, standardization.","PeriodicalId":430415,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geology and Mining Research","volume":"58 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126075218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Magmatic activity, coupled with folding and deformation were the effects of the Santonian tectonic episode in the area. Petrological (outcrop and thin section) data on these rocks indicate that they are mainly dioritic and doleritic to basaltic on hand specimens. Thin-section microscopy reveals that the dioritic rocks are generally medium-grained and mesocratic, characterized by randomly oriented laths of plagioclase and hornblende. The doleritic rocks are generally melanocratic, fine-grained and porphyritic, and are characterized by randomly oriented microlites of plagioclase of labradorite composition, with olivine and augite in a groundmass of aphanitic plagioclase, olivine and nepheline. The rocks are characterized by sub-ophitic to intersertal relationships between plagioclase and clinopyroxene which develops calcite as an alteration product. The mineralogical assemblages in these rocks suggest crystallization from an alkali-enriched magma, in a divergent tectono-magmatic setting. \u0000 \u0000 Key words: Southern Benue Trough, magmatism, dioritic, doleritic, alkali-enriched magma, divergent tectonic setting.","PeriodicalId":430415,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geology and Mining Research","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124776371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
